Tonight I'm seeing...
...one of my heroes, Fred Wesley formerly the band leader of James Brown's band The JBs. I'm actually excited about going to a gig! :-)

The one and same.
Really blown away by the gig last night. Fred (72) was backed by two French musicians, drums and a (22 year old) key board player. All were brilliant and created more sound and groove than 3 people have a right to do. Most of the set was very "Blue Note", but as a final encore Fred did "Pass the Peas" (JBs classic), the place (Hideaway in Streatham) erupted. I couldn't resist grabbing a couple of seconds as a momento...
